Our Mission

We Work With You To Provide The Best Support!

Urban Playology’s hope is to cultivate a safe place for you. Psychotherapy doesn’t work when people can’t be themselves. It just doesn’t. We want you to have a warm and welcoming experience without the distraction of wondering if we are really here for you. It is truly an honor to bear witness to your story.

Testimonials

“I’ve known Xanthia for over a decade and when I worked in public mental health she was my only referral source. I trusted her with some of the most high needs and complex families I’ve seen in my life. Often times people find themselves in unsafe spaces and Xanthia has the technical skills and the heart and soul that is truly the safe place. She is the vault and I trust her. She is one of few referral sources in the city. If you’re really struggling with your otherness, if you’re really wondering if anyone gets you, Xanthia does. You might have friends or a bestie or someone you pray with and those are great resources. But sometimes you just really need someone who can help you move forward. So if you’re tired of feeling stuck, if you’re tired of feeling like you tried everything, no one gets you, Xanthia will be your bridge into the next iteration of yourself. So why not give that gift to yourself. Give Xanthia a call. She’s amazing! Blessings To You!”

Amy Tatsumi Portal for Women & Founder, Your Soul Therapy & Amy Tatsumi Coaching

“Xanthia is an exceptional business coach and clinician. She approaches everything with skill, wisdom, and authenticity. I’ve been working with Xanthia as my clinical supervisor and coach since 2014. Since the start of our relationship, I have successfully opened and maintained a growing private practice. She continues to assist me in recognizing my professional worth and challenges me to do the personal work in order to thrive as a clinician and business owner. Xanthia has the ability to gently push you out of your comfort zone with adequate direction and support. She is truly a gem to the profession and I am grateful to have her apart of my journey.”

Kristian Owens Founder of Resilient Child Therapy Institute

“Xanthia Johnson’s mentorship and supervision allowed me to bring more of my self and my vision for my private practice to life with confidence, creativity, and good clinical skills at the forefront. Her unwavering support has been instrumental in how I show up as a therapist for my clients and for myself outside of the therapy room—professional, confident and thriving.”
